Prostatitis is the most common urological disease today. And the reason for this is that the factors that lead to the development of prostatitis are very common in the daily lives of men. In general, the treatment of prostatitis is a relatively complex process, consisting of a complex of procedures, medications, therapies, and massages. To achieve remission of the disease and to help prevent the painful symptoms of prostatitis, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, painkillers and immune system strengthening drugs help.
Methods of treatment of prostatitis with drugs
Several methods are usually recommended for the treatment of the prostate gland, namely:
- Candles.Used rectally, affects metabolism in the prostate. For 30-40 minutes after application, it is recommended to remain in the supine position. This course is from five to ten days. Contraindications: sensitivity to suppository components. Possible side effects: allergies (itching and burning).
- Injections for prostatitis.Medications also stimulate the immune system and strengthen the vascular system.
- Instillation.This type of therapy makes it possible to deliver the drug directly to its destination - the drug is given through an external opening of the urethra. It is recommended to inject about 5 ml of the drug mixture, while the bladder must be emptied before the procedure.
- Microclysters.This method is often called "folk" because of the use of infusions and decoctions from medicinal plants commonly used in traditional medicine. It is based on the simultaneous temperature and medicinal effect, which increases its effectiveness. As a rule, microclysters are recommended to be carried out before bedtime - so that after the procedure the prostate gland is not subject to tension and possible hypothermia. As a medicine, infusion of sage water, calendula, chamomile, motherwort is used. The solution is injected into the rectum (in a volume not exceeding 100 ml), where it should be absorbed. Microclysters are usually used in parallel with treatment with antibacterial drugs.
- Tablets for the treatment of the prostate gland.Often, for the treatment of diseases such as prostatitis, broad -spectrum antibacterial agents are used, especially if the causative agent of the disease has not been identified. The drugs can be divided into three groups: tetracycline group drugs, penicillin series drugs, fluoroquinolone group drugs.
Antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis
Let us consider the last group of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis in more detail.
Fluoroquinolones are modern, relatively newly developed antibacterial agents. Because of this, they have a large number of advantages over other broad -spectrum antibiotics. Drugs of this group practically do not cause immune deficiency in patients. Representatives of fluoroquinolones have a broader effect on microorganisms.
Preparations of the tetracycline group are used as an antibacterial treatment for prostatitis somewhat less frequently than fluoroquinolones. Usually, specialists prescribe antibiotics for chronic and infectious prostatitis. With non -infectious forms, treatment methods remain controversial and not fully explored.
In the treatment of prostatitis, antibacterial drugs are not prescribed immediately, but only after the doctor examines the patient for infection. During this period, symptomatic therapy is usually recommended, which aims to combat the inflammatory process and pain symptoms.
Antibiotic treatment lasts about four weeks or more with mandatory clinical monitoring of the patient’s condition. If there is no positive result of treatment, antibacterial medication is rejected, but not earlier than after two weeks of the course is started.
After successful therapy with antibiotics, a sufficiently long period of good health can be achieved in the patient. However, as a rule, the painful sensation returns over time, therefore, treatment with antibacterial drugs alone can not be considered sufficient. Good results are obtained by therapeutic programs aimed at increasing the local and general resistance of the body to pathogenic factors. In this case, you can expect success, or at least a long forgiveness.
